Text in French and English: "Being desirous of protecting Philadelphia, Washington took up a strong position on the right bank of the Delaware where the English could not follow him. The latter took advantage of this opportunity to excite the Indian tribes who committed the most frightful cruelties; but soon after, the Americans rising in a body, made terrible reprisals upon the savages and chiefly upon the tribe of the Cherokees who had showes [sic] the greatest ferocity."
Scene shows brutal American reprisals against native Americans who had aided the British side during the revolutionary war; American soldiers wearing blue jackets seen attacking a group of native American men, some armed with tomahawks. At right, a soldier pierces a native American with his bayonet. At left, a native American is seen running from the soldiers as another holds his tomahawk and sits on the ground. George Washington is seen standing in the background, atop a small hill, pointing with his sword and turned to face two other soldiers.
Veuve Turgis, literally "Widow Turgis," was a print publisher in Paris run by Madame Turgis, widow of Louis Turgis.
